2 years agoNew England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has been at OTAs in noticeably better shape, crediting his diet. "I think every year you want to do a self-diagnosis of how you felt for the games, your body fat, all that stuff," Jones said. "For me, cleaning up my diet -- I've probably learned more this offseason than I ever have about my diet, sleep, nutrition, wellness, all that stuff. I've taken what I've learned that I feel will help me and applied it." Jones is having his first offseason as the undisputed QB1 for New England after last year's uncertainty as a rookie competing with former Patriots quarterback Cam Newton. He seems to be putting in the work, also working with throwing coach Tom House, who worked extensively with Tom Brady over the years. The offense is still centered around the run game, and there are questions with the departure of long-time offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. However, the 23-year-old Jones is in a great position to improve on his rookie stat line of 3,801 passing yards with 22 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.--Dessy John
